They have 71 open positions. If they have 300 employees than 71 is 25% of their current workforce. Bit strange for a company that only has a single product due to launch this year.

Well seems like CIG doesn't give a poo poo about it's costumers goons are going to keep clogging up the support line for the foreseeable future.

The "Free Fly Weekend" really seems to be a hit.

I know Twitch streamers isn't the best measure but I figured at least there'd be a decent number of Twitchers playing it.

Everyone ask them this coming week, what is the next major feature we can expect to see in the game. If it's not an outright scam, and they have the very barest level of competency, you should get some kind of answer.

Playing the game this weekend until yesterday when I got bored, I had a vision. Somebody should kickstart a demolition derby in space game.

You should read Disgusting bliss, it's a book about chris morris and his career, even the people who have worked with him from the beginning aren't really sure what's true and what's made up when it comes to the things he's done.

It's like he read the script to life and knows how to approach every situation.

Chris Morris is literally a comedy God in the vein of Peter Cook. He takes everything and keeps out pushing orthagonally. For those not cogniscant;

Produced a show called 'The Day Today' that was a direct parody of news editorializing *of the time* that now seems very ordinary, complete with insane graphics bumps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTGE9153VFE

Moved on to 'Brass Eye', a similar idea, but riffing on the specials. They achieved noteriety when they got MPs to question a new drug called 'Cake', which didn't exist, and created a fake awareness campaign. They hit the pinnacle with their 'Pedogeddon' special that was poking fun at the 'panic' taking place in the UK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcU7FaEEzNU[NSFW]

They were awesome at underlining the credibility of celebrities and other fame-hungry individuals.

I'd recommend that everyone go watch these shows, they're all over Youtube.

Morris' radio 1 shows with Peter Baynham are superb as well. And of course his radio 3 show with Peter Cook.

I think they've been looking at their number of concurrents and worrying a bit about the burn rate, personally. Totally pulled out of my rear end, but the numbers I've heard have been sub 100,000 for the paying public; this should theoretically goose their sales and their concurrents, but it also might give them fairly horrible news about their relevancy.

It's their Iowa.

Less than 100,000 backers have checked out Arena Commander 2.0, in total. The reality of the situation is that what they've provided is basically poo poo compared to what they promised and everybody except those in charge knows it. Hell at this point those in charge might know it as well.

The sad thing is that it didn't have to be. What they've put out has the makings to be a really cool single player game. It really could easily be Privateer / Wing Commander / Freelancer 2016. Unfortunately they sided to increase the difficult exponentially and make it a MMO.
